When He Wenqian moved to Huaichuan, he found a job teaching piano.
But his student wasn't easy to handle. She chewed gum, pounded away at the keys, and after a month of lessons, it felt like he was playing to a cow.
She even treated him like a housekeeper, taking his silence as permission.
The girl would even run to the apartment building where he lived in the middle of the night, wearing her pajamas and tapping on his window with paper balls.
"He Wenqian, I'm hungry. I want fried chicken. Give me fifty yuan."
"He Wenqian, I had a fight with someone today. Come back me up."
"He Wenqian, I can't sleep."
On the last day of lessons, He Wenqian thought this was how the rest of his life would be: shut away in his apartment, eating three meals a day alone and handling relationships with silence.
Then one day, someone knocked on his door. The girl stood in the snow with a suitcase and a box of candied chestnuts in her hands. "He Wenqian, I don't have a home anymore. You have to take me in, right?"
"..."
"A box of candied chestnuts is enough, right?"

Jing Xiangsi thought He Wenqian was strange: quiet and taciturn, like a block of wood.
She thought he was cold and unfeeling, yet every time, he took her in and quietly saved dinner for her.
One day, she discovered He Wenqian's secret, and he kicked her out.
How could he!
In the depths of winter, a bird appeared outside He Wenqian's window. It wasn't afraid of people, and no amount of shooing would make it leave.
"Hey, He Wenqian, stop sleeping! I'll take you around the world!"
